## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for crane operations. It allows AI agents to determine if a specific load can be safely lifted using `analyze_lift_capacity`, calculate the necessary mass for stability with `calculate_required_counterweight`, and adjust capacity based on environmental factors like wind and ground stability using `evaluate_environmental_impact`. Finally, `verify_stability_compliance` ensures the entire lift plan meets safety standards.

## Tools

### calculate_required_counterweight
Calculates the amount of counterweight needed to maintain stability for a specific lift

### evaluate_environmental_impact
Adjusts the allowable lifting capacity based on wind and ground conditions

### verify_stability_compliance
Checks the overall safety profile of a planned lift against regulatory and manufacturer constraints

### analyze_lift_capacity
Determines if a specific load can be safely lifted at a given radius

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Can a crane with model ID 'heavy-lift-01' safely lift 15 tonnes at a 10m radius with a 1.5t rigging weight?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the maximum capacity at a 10m radius for this model is 22 tonnes, providing a safe margin for the 16.5 tonne total weight.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much counterweight is needed for a 20 tonne load at 15m radius for model 'crane-x'?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required counterweight for this lift is 45 tonnes to maintain the necessary stability ratio.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What happens to my lifting capacity if the wind speed is 45 km/h and the ground is soft?
```

**Response:** 
```
The capacity is significantly reduced. The wind speed causes an exponential drop in capacity, and the soft ground condition applies an additional 0.5 multiplier to the allowable weight.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool account for wind speed?**
The `evaluate_environmental_impact` tool reduces the allowable lifting capacity based on wind speed, as higher speeds increase lateral forces and reduce stability.

**Can I calculate the counterweight needed for a specific load?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_required_counterweight` to determine the exact mass needed to maintain stability for a given radius and load weight.

**What factors affect the safety margin?**
The safety margin is determined by the difference between the maximum capacity (from `analyze_lift_capacity`) and the total weight, which includes both the load and the rigging weight.
